I think there's a Venezuelan constitutional crisis in the making. Zombie Hugo hasn't been officially sworn in (and they probably can't convene a private swearing-in ceremony, because it would reveal to those outside the immediate circle just how incapacitated he is), and if he croaks before being sworn in, then what?

I suspect the knives are out, and there's a lot of behind-the-scenes jockeying between Maduro, Diosdado Cabello, and Rangel Silva. The earlier news article about the army's commitment to Chavez was revealing to me.
